20
這就是含的後裔,各隨他們的宗族、方言,所住的地土、邦國。
1223. Verse 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Here, as previously, Shem means the internal Church. 'The sons of Shem' means the attributes of wisdom. 'Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram' were just so many nations who mean the attributes of wisdom -'Elam' means faith stemming from charity, 'Asshur' derivative reason, 'Arpachshad' derivative knowledge, 'Lud' cognitions of truth, and 'Aram' cognitions of good.
